I'd run some SMART tests on the hard drive in question and, if you dual boot, get the utilities from the hard drive's manufacturer website, load them in windows and use them to see if anything is wrong with those drives.  Check the cables too.

I would also check the cabling, see if the data cable is properly connected on both ends, and if possible use a good cable.
